capacity of the existing fiber networks tenfold without adding any more fiber.
How are optical splitters used in the forward path? - ANSWER As passive branching
devices that divide an optical signal across multiple output fibers.
What is the purpose of a fiber demarcation box? - ANSWER It provides a safe place to
splice, split, distribute, store, and cross-connect fiber optics.
What is the purpose of the MST? - ANSWER It provides access to connect fiber-optic
cable drops from the customer premises to the network.
